That is just a keyway, that allows the CAS to be correctly aligned when re-assembling. It's still possible to assemble te CAS correctly - just need to use a bit of visualisation to determine the correct position.

You would have had spark when the CAS was installed. It's just that the CAS wasn't installed in the correct alignment. Therefore the spark wasn't at the correct time.

You should be able to see the mark in the cam end where the key used to be. Now visualise how the CAS needs to be installed to align with the missing key half. The teeth in the CAS and cam will keep the CAS aligned once installed.

You don't need to replace the cam. But if that's what you want to do ...

Someone has removed the CAS between the time it was working and the time it wasn't working.

If you are certain the CAS is positioned correctly, then the problem is somewhere else.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
